If you are frustrated by the lack of broadband speed in your home, consider a move to Willowfield, as the street in Telford, Shropshire, has the best download speeds in the country – more than 500 times faster than the slowest.

It would take residents less than three minutes to download a two-hour film with recorded speeds of up to 70.9Mbps, a study by uSwitch.com finds. Meanwhile, those in Cromarty Road in Stamford, Lincolnshire, would be waiting more than a day to watch the same blockbuster with average speeds of 0.132Mbps – the nation’s slowest.

The study of recorded speeds showed ‘a massive discrepancy between the fastest and slowest streets’. For example, Harwich Road in Clacton-on-Sea was the fifth slowest but Cromwell Road, in Southend-on-Sea, both in Essex, was third fastest.

Julia Stent, uSwitch broadband spokeswoman, said the results show what ministers face to bring Britain ‘in line with the likes of South Korea and Singapore by bringing super-fast broadband to 90 per cent of the UK’.

This would result ‘in faster speeds for rural and urban areas alike’, a spokesman for the department for culture, media and sport said.
